Star Wars: 7 Dream Anthology Films We Want To See
7. Pod Racing
Fast and Furious in space. Need I say more?
The Phantom Menace is by all accounts a terrible film, but it has two redeemable qualities; Darth Maul and pod racing. Anakin's pod race is a lot of fun, and the set piece has enough potential to succeed on its own.
Set on a never before seen planet with all new characters, this movie could follow an up and coming pod racer that works his way to the top. No lightsabers, no space fights, just tense races.
A Star Wars sports movie may sound like a silly concept, but then again so does a young Han Solo movie. But like the Solo movie, if the filmmakers take the right approach and execute it well, it could end up being remarkable.
Dream Involvement: Because of his success with the Fast and Furious series as well as his fantastic work in Star Trek Beyond, Justin Lin would be the perfect director to bring a Pod Racing film to theaters.
